Operator Setup - Linear HSLG-121 Installation Manual

Operator Setup

Controller Access
The Controller is protected by a plastic dust cover (single phase models
only). To remove the dust cover, loosen the cover's wing-screw and lift
the cover off (see Figure 6).
Manual Disconnect
The manual disconnect shifter lever and the locking lever is illustrated
in Figure 7. They can be found at the center bottom of the operator
cabinet. (The handle of each has been finished in easy to spot red firm-
grip coating.)
To disconnect the unit for manual operation, grasp the handle of the
spring-loaded shifter lever and pull it directly toward you until the
spring-loaded locking lever snaps into place behind it. This action
disengages the pinned shifter block from the drive mechanism and
holds the block in the disengaged position.
To re-engage the operator, move the locking lever to the right, releasing
the spring-loaded shifter lever to snap back into the engaged position.
AC Power Connection
All Linear gate operators are supplied with a power disconnect switch
WARNING
ALL AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE POWER SOURCE AND
THE OPERATOR MUST BE MADE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND
MUST OBSERVE ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES
to turn on and off the power available to the operator. Following wiring
specifications on Page 2, incoming power should be brought into the
operator and connected to the labeled pigtails from the disconnect box.
A wiring connections print can also be found on the label inside the
cover of the operator.
Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The motor
contains a thermal overload protector to guard from overheating the
motor due to overload or high-frequency operation. This overload
protector will reset automatically after the motor cools down.
Earth Ground
Install a ground rod and connect it to the operator's frame in every
gate operator installation. A good earth ground is necessary to allow
the Controller's built-in surge and lightning protection circuitry to work
effectively. The physical bolting of the operator to the mounting posts is
not sufficient for a good earth ground.
✓ NOTE: Do not splice the ground wire. Use a single piece of solid
copper 12 AWG wire between the ground rod and the operator.
1. Install an 8-foot long copper ground rod next to the operator
mounting pad within three feet of the operator.
2. Use a clamp to connect a solid copper 12 AWG ground wire to the
ground rod.
3. Route the ground wire to the operator.
4. Connect the ground wire to the operator's frame.
